Telepromptr for Negative User Reviews
✓ I wish there were 10 speeds between 12 and 13This has many speeds. But the speed I really need 95% of the time is somewhere between speed 12 and speed 13. Just about every time, speed 12 is too slow for my talent, and speed 13 is too fast. Why there's a speed 25 is one of life's eternal mysteries. I think I heard that guy on a FedEx commercial back in the '80s. Below 12 is perfect for people high on cough syrup. What I really need are 10 speeds between 12 and 13. Also, why can't it ever remember that I need it in mirror mode EVERY TIME? Having to go back and reset it that way EVERY SINGLE TIME will drive me to cough syrup addiction. At least that would make me qualified to use a setting below 12..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Support and HelpI purchased the pro version of this app on what looked to be a very promising description Sadly: No response to emails sent to the developer No help on the keyboard functions Doesn't import txt files as described Cant delete scripts. Come on Mr developer support your app Thanks Lockie.Version: 2.0
✓ DOESN'T TURNAbsolute waste of time and money. Wish I read the review above before purchasing. Why make something so useless??.Version: 3.0.2
✓ PoorWouldn’t mind if it was free, but it isn’t No way of viewing script on another device, useless for live use as there’s no way to monitor where the script is up to. No support, “get help” button crashes the app and “developer website” doesn’t go anywhere..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Bluetooth issues stillThe app is great to use for some purposes, but despite several updates and attempts by the developers, the Bluetooth keyboard connectivity issues persist on. That makes it quite difficult to do longer deliveries. With nobody there to scroll for you, the main speaker, the teleprompter can either get ahead of you or lag behind you pretty easily. Please fix this bug!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Not very goodNot working very well. No start / stop. Pretty unstable..Version: 1.1
✓ No Bluetooth connectivityEven though the latest update promises a fix for Bluetooth control, it still doesn't work. I am typing this review on the Bluetooth keyboard I want to use with the app. Better yet, make the Apple Watch work as a remote... Anyhow, the app won't connect to a BT keyboard, which would be a nice feature, if it worked. Developer says it works, but it doesn't. The link for app support doesn't work, either. Disappointment continues. Was a two-star, but now it's just one, because of dead support link and the fact that, when attempting to use the keyboard, I get an error message..Version: 3.1
✓ It doesn't workDon't waste your time or your money. It simply doesn't work..Version: 3.0.8
✓ What went wrong?The Lite version was so promising with 2 simple speed buttons, too fast and much too fast! Pay and you get a DISASTROUSLY unpredictable speed slider and no pause. Please replace this slider with a couple of presettable and utterly repeatable buttons and a vertical 'swipe' on the actual text to scroll back and forth. A pause button too. It would then be great. Add a remote control in some way and it would be perfect. Characters are beautifully clear and scrolling smooth. Operational interface is simple and clear but inadequate as described. I look forward to the update. Or maybe my money back..Version: 1.1
✓ Ok but needs workI could not find how to remove a script. I'd like to see this in the next release..Version: 2.0
✓ Over pricedToo many design flaws for the purchase price. "Scroll speed" will not save per individual script. Individual scripts cannot be reconfigured into a different order after saving to home screen. Various other quirks. Feels like someone rushed to throw something together and get it out on the market. Just not well thought out. Would love a refund!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ A lot of serious issuesWilling to change if I get a response. Issues include being Unable to name or rename scripts which is pretty crazy. Clicking the Get Help link in the app on an iPad pro brings me out of the app and to the default home screen which is off no help at all. Unable to find any Frequently Asked Questions or help forum, tutorials or support or even a help email address on the website. I think there may be no support for this as app any more as App Support link goes to link that can't find the server. Also only works with DropBox not other cloud storage apps and only works with Mail..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Wonky SpeedI don’t Understand how this is supposed to work. Who can read at 25 speed and when I try to reduce it I can read at 12 but that is kind of slow then I move it up to 13 and it jumps quite a bit so that it I have a hard time keeping up. I have thought that maybe I could use double line spacing or something like that but it doesn’t allow any formatting in this way that I can tell. All you can do is import a text file which is very limited..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Needs workI bought the pro version. I have found some issues. 1. The text speed settings do not go slow enough 2. When using the mirror option with prompter kit. The text scrolls in the wrong direction. These issues mean that I am now using alternative software..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Doesn't do portrait mode. F*#k!!Why the hell didn't I read the reviews first. God damn it just wasted my money..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Awful. Unusable.Awful. Can’t import text files from Dropbox, airdrop or mail - All result in half of the files importing with nothing written in them, despite being a perfectly fine txt file. renaming files the names get wiped away each time you open another file, and general file management is shocking. It’s actually unusable and a complete waste of money..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Can't name ScriptsThis will not let me name scripts. I have over 30 song lyrics stored in this app and every time I name a new script it changes a previous saved script, I now have to go through all the scripts one by one until I find the one I want, making this app totally useless. I have contacted the developer via email as requested but no reply. A refund would be nice!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ MrWasted $$$ can't use with telepromtping system as it doesn't rotate.. Only works in landscape mode ... Useless.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Doesn't recognise special charactersI'm used to using a more expensive app but thought I'd give this one a try on another device. I didn't get any further than opening a text file - this app doesn't recognise things like apostrophes, which seems a simple thing, and makes it unusable for me..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Lacks key functionsPricey app considering the lack of functionality. Save your money.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Great concept, but not tested enoughUsed this app for a video recording this morning. Mirror mode worked well, text is large, clear and legible (more so than some other apps), however, the following things do not work: ⛔️ Opening a TXT file in Teleprompter from other apps just crashes the app. Had to copy and paste the large script in. ⛔️ There's no way to delete scripts ⛔️ The app refused to detect my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard even though it was connected properly and worked in other apps. I would also like to have the buttons easier to reach and press when seated on a teleprompter, or perhaps be able to control it from my iPhone if not a bluetooth keyboard. The app did the job today, and would possibly use it again but only for the lack of better products out there..Version: 2.0
✓ Does the job but badly flawedI largely agree with Samvol. It works fine if you type in your script, but no import from .txt (as promised) and no ability to delete (dont think it was promised) but a fairly basic requirement I would think. I'm not too excited about getting your money, let the buyer beware, but hope the feedback is more useful. - Also the highlighter seems to either miss the first couple of characters or highlight a couple of extra ones at the end - not a big one for me but a bit irritating. An update would be welcome..Version: 2.0
✓ Decent, but needs improvementThe software allows for the ability to customize the speed of the text, but there is no way to save this either globally or locally within the script. You have to reset the speed every time. Another issue that needs to be addressed, if you have enough scripts you cannot see the title when you enter it for new scripts Seeing what you’re typing is only a feature for the first six scripts. If these two issues were addressed, I would be much happier with this software..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Find something betterBuggy app with illogical functionality. Can’t believe what it costs. Find something better..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Some issuesI've tried to import .txt files, but no success so far, as others have said. Also no way to delete scripts, and I have a blank for every failed import attempt. Everything else works well enough, but if they want 4 and 5 stars the publisher may want to fix these issues and listen to their users..Version: 2.0
✓ No portrait mode!!Wish I’d read the reviews first, just wasted my money as it doesn’t work in portrait mode, I mean is there a TelePrompTer machine that’s in landscape mode. Mine isn’t. Do an update to include portrait please. I’d email but I’ve already read the developer doesn’t reply. How can I get a refund?.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Complete rip off, doesn't workThis app is a waste of money. It says that you can import files but you CAN NOT do this. If you want to re-write all your scripts within the app then fine. But if you have anything you need to import then you are wasting your money on this app like I did. Complete rip off.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Would like to see a countdown addedIs there anyway to get a countdown added before scrolling begins? I’ve had it before but not sure if it was a different app or a different version of this particular app. It’s very helpful for people I film who never get in front of a camera. It’s very helpful..Version: 3.0.9
✓ TelePrompter ProIf you are importing a script, this is a very frustrating app to use. It just simply doesn't work. I wouldn't suggest buying this one until it's fixed and is seamless..Version: 2.0
✓ Needs features fixedI will start off with good. The blue tooth key board control works great. Now for some things to improve. Text import. Program claims that you can import plain txt file into the program. Using txt files from MS word in 3 different plain txt formats came up blank. Same when I tried to import plain Txt file from note pad again a blank screen. This feature was why I bought to pro version. After 3 weeks no response receive after notifying of this issues. Highlighting and font colour needs to improve. Very frustrating when go to highlight word and the line above gets highlighted and only half word lighloght. Change font colour also has similar issue it would change font colour on part of word and different. Some times it would work correctly other times if changing colour of wrong word or only part of the word. It is troubling that after 3 weeks no response about feature that does not work or response to say which txt program file works for import. The TelePrompt part works fine but program is far from being finished with state of current features..Version: 2.0
✓ Feels Abandoned and unlovedI bought this for my iPad as a friend has some music on the PC version of this App and we could share the files. First it does not have the same features as the PC version. Files have to imported, it cannot natively view files on Dropbox. Rich text is not supported (really)! It only supports landscape on my iPad. Bit of a disappointment.Version: 3.3
✓ Bluetooth Nightmare!This would be a great app if it weren't for the nightmare i am having with adding a bluetooth keyboard. I've tried two mocute remotes which do not work with it. I tried a mac keyboard which connects, but when i press a key, it loses connection. Without bluetooth control, this app is useless for me..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Doesn't work.Txt files and doc files load all of the formatting code as well, scripts are unuseable. don't waste your money..Version: 3.0.8
✓ It’s Just OkI’ve endured this app for about a year. It was better than having to memorize my scripts. I really needed the Bluetooth keyboard function to work. Two emails to support and it still doesn’t work. I went with Teleprompter Premium and it does EVERYTHING I need it to do. Not only can you start and stop the scrolling from the keyboard, there’s a host of other features that can be done without you having to move from the keyboard. Pay the extra few dollars if you can and get a product that is fully featured and looks to have great support..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Worst App Ever!!!I gave a 1 Star but if I could I would have given a 0. This app is horrible. They do not tell you that the screen only stays horizontal and will not flip vertically which is how my TelePrompTer is. Not sure how you have an app that only caters to one design style of Teleprompter. Also the script formats they allow is outdated I mean really only txt. What about word, and pdf. Also it won’t allow me to even upload scripts from my phone only through Dropbox. When I tried to contact the app developer there was no one to contact. Worst App Ever!!! I want my money back will be calling my back First thing Monday to get it back..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Not greatThe app won’t let me import scripts on my iPad. (The device for which I purchased the app) Had to purchase another TelePrompTer app to get the job done. May I have a refund please as cannot use this app. RobD.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Inconsistent scroll speedI bought the paid version. The scroll speed is inconsistent and keeps changing. It makes it very difficult to make adjustements. Othwerwise reasonably good app..Version: 3.0.9
✓ It’s good but needs updatingHI purchased the full system having used the lite version. Find it really useful for what I need it for. However, there is a Bluetooth issue whereby the keyboard is not connected to the full teleprompter screen so I have to use the ‘edit script’ function which only gives me half a screen at best. I have emailed the developer and had nothing back in response so feel let down by this. If this could be rectified then it would be a 4 star minimum.Version: 3.0.9
✓ Nearly there....As a singer / songwriter, i thought this app would do the job but!!!!! Unless i am doing something wrong? Every time you go between doc’s it won’t remember the scroll speed which is fundamental flaw. If this can be rectified with an update, then a 5* from me. 👍.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Very disappointingA regrettable purchase, for something so simple there is no excuse for it to be so dysfunctional. Text import from email doesn't work, no in app instructions..... Useless!.Version: 1.1
✓ Help! Please fix!Please provide a link for bug-fix and support. The current link just sends me to the developer website- not too helpful. I liked using the app but I am encountering a lot of skipping with this program while scrolling. Please fix!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ FrustratingSo frustrating to try and find a blank page to add my text to. I had to erase the instructions just so I could have a place to add my text. This app needs work..Version: 4.1
✓ Features are not all working!I used this teleprompter many times for recording. Right now I’m going to have to find something else unless they fix this. It worked great. But I wanted to upgrade my iPad. Now the Bluetooth connectivity feature does not work. I can’t pause/start/stop with my keyboard anymore because the app refuses to connect to my keyboard for that feature. I can type the script from my keyboard, so it’s not a connectivity issue. Something’s broke and needs to be resolved.Version: 3.0.9
✓ No SupportI purchased this app to find out that it only works in landscape mode on my tablet. I have a teleprompter that only works in portrait mode. I tried to access the website to see if there were instructions on how to change this and the website is down. Sent an email through the "help" function, no reply. Sent a tweet, and not a word. Uninstalling and going to find an app that will work for my needs..Version: 3.0.8
✓ Unsatisfactory App1) Import function does not work properly. I copied and pasted my script a text file (*.txt) in MS Notepad, then emailed myself this txt file, the TelePrompTer app was not able to open the file. I had to copy and paste the script from the txt file as a new script for the TelePrompTer app. 2) Unreliable. The first 80% of my script, the app worked fine. The last 20% of my script, the app was a total nightmare. The app kept crashing, prompting ,me to reboot the iPad Air multiple times. The last 20% of the script, I had to ad lib it since the TelePrompTer app did not work. I strongly discourage anyone from wasting your money and time with this app..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Looks promisingWell... the price went down, so I thought " What the heck!" I like it. It looks good and does what I want it to do except for a couple of things: 1. I can import a text file direct, into the app. That's wonderful, except the file is blank! It doesn't work. I can at least copy and paste, so that's a workaround I'm prepared to live with. But... 2. I can find no way of deleting the scripts! Once they're done with, I don't want scripts cluttering up my iPad, no Sir! So... I've paid for the app, not a lot, but money's money. I'll hang on to it in the hope that there'll be a fix before long..Version: 2.0
✓ DisappointingImporting scripts is a crappy process. If you don't use the iOS mail client, you can't use email to open them in the app... they open as just text files. If you import from Dropbox, it gives the scripts different names, not respecting the name that you have for the file... if you have a lot of scripts, that's a royal pain. Crappy process to have one app then sell a different one to get mirroring... in-app purchase maybe? Then once you get that, it promotes yet another app that replaces this one that will start with your voice. No thanks....Version: 3.0.8
✓ Need 3 features to pass1. It doesn't have a pause/play 2. Doesn't have any way to get a consistent playback speed. You need a variable field that we can type a value in. 3.need to be able to touch and drag up or down..Version: 1.1
✓ Doesn't work in Portrait. Developer refuses to respond or support.Nowhere does the TelePrompTer mention it doesn't work in portrait mode, but what's worse, is the zero response from the developer after half a dozen emails to his different addresses. Not worth the risk!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ IffyIt keeps dropping titles of each file and reverts to “script 12-name” very irritating on ipad 2 air.Version: 3.3
✓ Help desk!Had problem tried email, nothing. Found help decked linked to product, great. So emailed. Help desk says will reply in 24 hours, gave them way longer, nothing. Prompted with message. Still waiting for reply. What look so good just doesn't work. If you want some that does try I-cue..Version: 3.0.8
✓ BROKEN, NO SUPPORTThe app refuses to work with any Bluetooth keyboard and seems to be a bug others have left negative reviews about. Effectively makes this app useless for me. I contacted the developer but no reply..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Bluetooth Keyboard FunctionalityHi there. The app works ok but doesn’t work with an external Bluetooth keyboard. It connects and we can type with it but can not control the scroll and stop start. Can you help thanks..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Scam!!This product doesn't work. I just wasted $$ on something that won't even open the files. It literally does nothing. What a scam..Version: 2.0.5
✓ Useful & easy to use but with a serious flaw.This is the first time we have needed to use a teleprompter and choose this app as it seemed to offer a simple interface and got some good reviews. It worked well but there are a couple of flaws one of which is serious. The serious flaw is it far to easy to loose edits to the script, there seems to be no “are you sure” dialogues and it doesn’t save the script automatically like many iPad apps so it catches you out and you can easily end up loosing a lot of work The second is text handling. We Imported a document exported from pages as plain text and it gave odd character sequences instead of apostrophes. It was probably an export problem but I think this app should be able to handle it because the built in editor is not good enough for large scripts and changes so you are very likely to have another editor in the workflow..Version: 3.3
✓ Bluetooth just doesn´t workI tried 3 separate bluetooth keyboards, and each time it couldn't see the connection. An autocue which you can’t control remotely isn’t all that useful really, and it´s certainly not worth paying for! The depressing thing is, if the Bluetooth worked, this would be a 5 star rave review!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ 50% useless - no portrait modeRefund would be nice.Version: 3.0.8
✓ Doesn't workDoesn't open text file. Junk!!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Not worth the moneyI should have read the other reviews first. I am having the same problems as others. 1. Forced to give email address 2. App forces you to rate it 3. Import does not work 4. Cannot delete a script Not very good overall. Concept is good and if these things were fixed then it would be a great app..Version: 2.0
✓ Does nothingIt will not load the script files, you can import the .txt files as instructed but they will not play. A huge waste of time and money!.Version: 3.0.8
✓ TerribleFirst you are forced to hand over your email to get access once you purchase this app. Then you can't import a script even though it says you can... very frustrating.. and once you create a new file you cannot delete... the only positive.. I deleted the app and bought another which is now working great.Version: 2.0
✓ Paid $7 now it wants my email to work?!This developer needs to think more carefully. I paid for the pro version. Now I try to adjust font size and it asks me to enter a key, to do this I need to supply my email address..Version: 2.0
✓ Needs workI also had no luck importing .txt files. It would give me the option to open the text file in the app but it was always blank each time I tried. A very strange feature not available is the ability to delete the file once you are done with it! I finally just copied and pasted new copy into the file I created and renamed it! I guess it will be on my iPad until I get rid of the app... Loved the use ability , the scroll rate was great and easy to customize..Version: 2.0
✓ Leave itIt's really annoying to grab a free version to find you actually get nothing until you buy the product. Apple should deal with this. Regardless I paid my money because on import it showed a word and text icon. Naturally I assumed I could import word and text files but not the case. It only accepts raw text files and you have to email them to yourself and recover them. That being said they are not imported properly with acres of random text that you will need to edit out before it's usable. Reading an autocue without random letters in is a pretty basic requirement. Really unhappy customer, maybe it's just me but I'm a bit miffed I fell for it..Version: 3.0.9
✓ UselessDoes not work with remote..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Not goodThe instructions this app gives for importing scripts from text file are to press and hold the txt file in email, then choose open with Teleprompter. This doesn't seem to work as it just gives a blank script to work with when it opens. I've also just tried to delete the script but there's no delete function it seems..Version: 2.0
✓ Heap of S#*tBuyer beware. This app is rubbish. It doesn't work so do not waste your money..Version: 2.0.6
✓ So disappointedI tried the free version and liked it so I paid to upgrade. Then I found out that my IPad, an older model, is not compatible with the latest Drop Box app, so I couldn't import scripts - which was the entire reason I upgraded. The other option was to import via email with a txt file. That meant converting my document to plain text, emailing it to my IPad and opening with TelePrompter. Did all of that, but when I opened the document on TelePrompter, it was blank! I approached the developer for a refund but he basically said, "too bad." Wow. Update: I received an email from the developer with a link to contact them. Guess what? It doesn't go anywhere! It opens to a random page for purchasing other services. No way to contact them. Wow again!.Version: 3.0.9
✓ No support after multiple requestsI have emailed twice and not received a response. I can't get the import feature to work. The file imports, or so it seems, but there is no text in the prompter when I open the file. NOT good! Otherwise, I do like it..Version: 2.0
✓ ScamBluetooth keyboards do not work and no support. The website has deceased so can’t even get any help. Avoid.Version: 3.0.9
✓ BoooooooI needed this program to work today and it totally sucked. I spent the entire day trying to load two verses of the song onto any format to upload it and it failed every single time. I had to download over five apps to try and make that happen. You came highly recommended by somebody I know, but this is been a complete and utter failure the fact that I can’t copy and paste from From Google drive into dropbox or paper or anything to just simply Get lyrics on to this app Is infuriating. Bad bad programmers...Tell me exactly how this is supposed to be simple and easy and always ready to work because I have every faith this morning and it’s after midnight And I’m stressed out because I couldn’t get done what I needed to..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Zero supportI would have given this app 4 stars IF there was a remote chance to get support. There is a glitch in adding titles to my scripts and I can not find any support anywhere so I will have to buy a different app. It would also be good to be able to set the scroll speed for each script. i.e. Different song tempos. For pro use there are much better apps out there.Version: 2.0.5
✓ Bluetooth IssueI like the App and build a teleprompter unit to house the iPAD. It all looks good the app works well, imported scrips and edited those as needed , easy to read and the Mirror view is just great. My only issue is the Bluetooth control - need a fix for that. I have a Logitech K380 working on my PC and Connects to the IPad just fine - the App just tells the Bluetooth connection has ended - every time. So looking good just can’t use until I have Bluetooth running. Help please!.Version: 3.3
✓ DeceitfulWhen it says that you can download voice teleprompter for free after buying this one, you schools honor your word, instead, it sends me to the lite version of the voice teleprompter... which is not what you are advertising, and to top it all, be honest of what comes originally and what you can and cannot do, wishing I didn’t’t delete the teleprompter I had before, which I can’t get anymore, this is definitely not an honest company, beware!.Version: 3.0.9
